Diamond memories: The greatest hits of a four-day extravaganza
From the stoicism of the monarch - who stood for
four drizzling hours on the Royal Barge to greet the ecstatic throngs - to eccentric performer Grace Jones hula-hooping her way through a set, the
Diamond Jubilee has left memories that will be cherished for years to come.
Dazzling soprano Katherine Jenkins kicked off proceedings with a rousing rendition of
God Save the Queen at the Derby, and the smile on the Queen's face first glimpsed as she followed the races remained a permant fixture over the four days, despite the setback of
Prince Philip's hospitalisation.
Even the British weather didn't put a dampner on proceedings as the nation's favourite grandmother celebrated a remarkable achievement with her adoring public.
